abehagenston@yahoo.com is still going.
I went to the hospital yesterday with a bacterial infection in my leg, which I still have. While I was there, I was told "they don't have to treat me" because I don't have money. They also prescribed me an antibiotic which I can not afford, $35 a dose, and two medications I do not need, but refused to give me pain medication. I tried to reason that with compress and pain management (vicodin $0.17 a pill, vs $35) that my decision for a course of treatment was financial. I have no money, I would much rather spend 15 on food, 15 on pain meds and wait it out.
Then, they have the audasity to violate HIPPA rules stating that they will turn me into collections and share my info with everyone.
I asked , "what about the hipocratic oath", to which they replied, "it is only an oath." I guess that says it all about Doctors and insurance. Anyone else have this situation?
